Lexington, KY – The audience for Montgomery Gentry's next Louisville show won't just be sitting in the KFC Yum Center; it'll also be stationed around the world.

"The concert is the first of its kind," says Lt. Col. Kirk Hilbrecht, Director of the Public Affairs for the Kentucky National Guard.

The concert will be broadcast on pentagonchannel.com.

"What that means is we're allowing all the family members, friends, and communities from all over the state as well as the nation to join in at this concert," he says.

The show will also feature a host of military personnel. It begins at 7 p.m. Tuesday and is expected to reach 32 million homes and over 378 bases worldwide.
